Cavli Wireless

Case Study Overview

A UK-based specialist in predictive and preventive maintenance uses Cavli connectivity to support remote condition monitoring of bolted railway assets. Serving rail, mining and energy, the customer develops monitoring solutions for equipment. Its railway monitoring system helps identify potential failures and supports preventive maintenance of components including switches and crossings.

Cavli combines cellular modules, eSIM connectivity and the Cavli Hubble platform to connect and manage distributed monitoring devices. The customer’s system measures asset condition and provides maintenance insights, while Cavli supplies cellular communication and module management. This offering brings hardware, network access and connectivity operations together for the customer’s railway application.

The original implementation used C10AM, which has reached end of life. Cavli now recommends C10QM as its replacement. This LTE Cat 1 module supports optional integrated eSIM, Yocto Linux and an SDK. Teams developing devices for IoT predictive maintenance can evaluate C10QM against their hardware, software and regional network requirements.

Across Europe and Africa, the customer uses eSIM connectivity to access multiple local and global operator networks. Cavli Hubble supports management of the module fleet, connectivity, billing and messaging services, alongside Hubble API integration. These capabilities support the connected devices behind the customer’s railway asset management application. Network availability depends on the deployment location, module configuration and connectivity plan, making regional evaluation part of the device development process.
